"In this case, then... let's borrow it first, and we will return it to you as soon as there is a room available."

"Sister Shengsheng, we've known each other for such a long time, you don't have to be polite with me, I'll put the room card at the front desk after I pack up my things, remember to come and get it later."

While maintaining a smile, Shen Lan secretly tried her best to break free from He Chen's shackles: "By the way, I celebrate my birthday tomorrow. Let's have a gathering together. Sister Shengsheng can invite your friends to come and play."

"Birthday?" Qiao Shisheng was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a dazed expression, "Yes, tomorrow is October 5th!"

"Blame me, blame me. There have been too many things recently, and I almost forgot your birthday."

"Don't worry, my sister will definitely attend your birthday party."

"Okay," Shen Lan nodded with a smile, "Then I'll send the time and place to your phone later."

"Well, see you tomorrow." Qiao Shisheng pointed to the room card in Shen Lan's hand, with a bright smile on his face, "Thank you."

After a simple farewell, Shen Lan and his party turned around and left.

Song Mian, who had been secretly observing since just now, saw that he had already distanced himself from them, and the gossip in his heart was suddenly ignited. He approached Shen Lan in two or three steps, and asked fearlessly, "Brother Shen, Was that your neighbor little elder sister just now, she looks so beautiful and has good eyesight!"

"Want to die?" Shen Lan raised his hand and slapped Song Mian on the head, "Stop talking nonsense!"

"Why am I talking nonsense?" Song Mian flexibly avoided Shen Lan's attack as if he had eyes on the back of his head, and at the same time moved several steps to the side to keep a certain distance from Shen Lan.

"You said it yourself last time. She is different. At that time, He Chen was still nearby. He heard it too, didn't he?"

"……Um."

Hearing this, He Chen raised his head and glanced at Shen Lan lightly, then immediately turned his attention back to his mobile phone.

Although he didn't say much, Shen Lan felt for no reason that He Chen seemed a little unhappy.

"Shen Lan, that beautiful little elder sister just now is the girl you like?"

Lin Lu took Wang Qingya's hand and asked tentatively.

She knew early on that her best friend was interested in Shen Lan, so when Zhao Wenjia invited her out to play, Lin Lu readily agreed.

Originally thought that this trip, she could help Wang Qingya create an opportunity to have an intersection between the two of them, but she didn't expect that before her plan was formed, she would encounter something like today.

"No," Shen Lan subconsciously glanced at He Chen. For some reason, he subconsciously didn't want He Chen to misunderstand this matter, "When I first came to Beicheng, Sister Shengsheng helped me a lot.I have always treated her as a sister, just a sister."

"Oh, so that's the case."

Hearing Shen Lan's explanation, Lin Lu quietly breathed a sigh of relief, she and Wang Qingya looked at each other silently, and there was a little unknown look in their eyes.

"Okay, it's getting late, everyone go back to rest early, and I'll go back to my room to pack up."

After a brief farewell, several people went back to their own rooms. Shen Lan swiped open the door with his room card. Just when he was about to close the door, a hand suddenly protruded from the crack of the door and made his movements come to an emergency stop.

"What are you doing?!" Shen Lan hurriedly opened the door of the room, saw He Chen standing outside the door calmly, and suddenly became angry, "You won't make a sound? If I didn't see that the door was really closedClosed, do you want to use another hand?"

"Didn't you see this?"

He Chen shook his hand, indicating that there was no problem: "Do you need help?"

"No need!" The worry just now turned into anger before Shen Lan realized it, he opened the door with a bang, and said angrily, "You are hanging your arms, what can you help me clean up?"

"Stand there and don't move," Shen Lan pointed at He Chen while pulling the zipper of her backpack with one hand, "Stand by the door and wait for me for three minutes."

After the words fell, Shen Lan began to pack up again on her own.

Although people often say that Shen Lan is a veritable rich second generation, but he has almost no bad habits of extravagance and pickiness.

Most of the clothes in the suitcase are wholesaled by a certain treasure, and even the boy's favorite shoes are not of an overly luxurious brand. The combined price of all his things may not be as expensive as the suitcase for the suitcase.

"Pack up, let's go."

Shen Lan walked to the door with the suitcase in one hand and the backpack in the other. He Chen took Shen Lan's backpack from him very naturally, and carried it on his shoulder.

The two returned to the hall again and handed over the room card to the front desk. After a few instructions, they went to the room where He Chen was.

drop

The door was opened in response, Shen Lan dragged the suitcase into the room, seeing the meticulously arranged bed surface and the neatly arranged personal items on the bedside, she couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"You are really in the late stage of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Those who don't know think you are queuing for them."

"Get used to it." He Chen entered the room one step later, put Shen Lan's backpack next to the suitcase, and went to the bathroom to help Shen Lan remove the disposable toiletries, "Shall we take a shower now?"

"Okay, after playing like crazy for a day, I sweat so much that I feel sticky all over my body."

While talking, Shen Lan rummaged through the laundry in her suitcase: "Hey, He Chen, I seem to have forgotten my shampoo, can you lend me yours?"

"The hotel has spares."

"No, I'm not used to the smell. Tsk, if I knew it, I wouldn't have brought a single package. It's really troublesome to lose it."

He rummaged through the suitcase again, and after making sure he didn't bring it, he yelled in the direction of the bathroom, "I remember I smelled the same smell of your shampoo today as the one I usually use. Where did you put yours?"

"In the drawer under the cabinet."

"Under the cabinet..." Shen Lan stood up and muttered, walking to the bedside table and opening the drawer, "I saw it!"

He took out the shampoo, and when he was about to close the drawer, a milky-white package inlaid with gold powder that was inadvertently exposed inside caught his attention.

"What is this?"

The object that exposed the tip of the iceberg seemed to have suddenly grown countless pairs of tentacles, attracting Shen Lan to explore. Just when he was about to take out the object and examine it carefully, a hand suddenly stretched out beside him stopped him..

"Don't touch this."

He Chen put the things back in their original places, and then directly closed the drawer, blocking Shen Lan's probing and curious eyes.

"What is this, such a baby?"

"Gift."

"A gift?" Shen Lan's eyes lit up, "For me?"

"Um."

"Then I'm even more curious. It's my birthday. What gift will you, He Chen, give me?"

Saying that, Shen Lan stretched out her hand to open the drawer, but He Chen stopped him from touching the handle of the drawer.

"Don't be so stingy, it's all for me anyway, if you read it today, you'll see it tomorrow, and you'll see it tomorrow, there's no difference."

"There is a difference." Seeing that Shen Lan did not give up, He Chen simply leaned his whole body in front of the bedside table and covered the drawer tightly, "Shouldn't you take a bath?"

"……wash."

Shen Lan's heart was very depressed by He Chen's reticence, he carried a change of clothes and moved to the bathroom door, before taking a bath, he angrily raised his middle finger at He Chen to express his disdain.

Ten minutes later, after taking a shower, Shen Lan came out of the bathroom after changing into a pair of loose short-sleeved shorts.

The wet hair was being wiped with a white towel, and the fingers holding the towel had turned pink under the steam of hot water, and veins were still faintly visible on the back of the hand.

The red eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of water mist, and the water droplets from the tips of the hair dripped on the delicate collarbone, just like a stream of sweet spring water suddenly appearing in the desert, one couldn't help but think...

He Chen only glanced at Shen Lan, then turned his gaze back to the magazine at hand. However, he, who always had a glance at ten lines, stared at a certain place for more than ten seconds, until Shen Lan called out to him, He ChenChen seemed to come back to his senses.

"What are you thinking, absent-minded?"

"...It's okay." He Chen couldn't help pinching the center of his brows, and brought back his wandering thoughts little by little, "Did you wash it?"

"Nonsense, I can stand here and talk to you if I haven't washed it well."

"Oh, then I'll go wash."

After saying that, He Chen grabbed the clothes on the side and walked towards the bathroom, but before he could take a step, Shen Lan suddenly reached out and grabbed him.

"You got it wrong, it's my towel."

He Chen: ...

The semi-wet towel with residual heat seemed to have turned into a hot potato at this moment. He Chen's fingertips holding it loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened again, but in the end he didn't say anything, just changed back to his own towelThen he went into the bathroom silently.

Shen Lan looked at the towel on the chair, and then at the bathroom with the sound of running water, a question mark slowly appeared in her mind.

baffling.

When He Chen came out of the bathroom, Shen Lan was already leaning against the bed and playing games, nothing in the room had been touched, everything seemed so reasonable, except for the one on the bed... Chu Hehanboundary.

He looked at the long gray blanket rolled up in the middle of the bed, walked to Shen Lan's side and raised his hand to tap the edge of his phone.

"reason?"

"What's the reason?" Shen Lan was fighting fiercely with his teammates on the map, and didn't notice He Chen's movements at all.Where did it come out!"

With dozens of seconds left before resurrection, Shen Lan angrily threw her phone on the bed, and finally shifted her energy back to He Chen.

"What did you ask me just now?"

"This." He Chen pointed to the small blanket lying in the middle of the bed, "Why?"

"I'm afraid you'll be dishonest in your sleep." As soon as she mentioned this, Shen Lan seemed to have been touched by some mechanism, and suddenly said excitedly, "The last time I stayed at your house, it was because of your sleepwalking that I slept on the bed.of."

"So, with the lessons learned from last time, I decided to plan ahead. It's better to distinguish the boundaries in advance, so that we both can't sleep well when we get it."

"...I sleepwalking?" He Chen was choked by Shen Lan's magical brain circuit, and for a moment he didn't know where to refute.

"Of course it's you sleepwalking, I'm honest when I sleep!" Shen Lan patted him on the shoulder with a considerate look and said, "It's okay, only I know the secret of your sleepwalking, I don'tWill tell others."

"Very good." Seeing Shen Lan pretending to understand but couldn't help laughing, He Chen took a deep breath and suppressed all the complicated emotions in his heart. At the same time, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes,"Hope you remember."

"Of course, don't worry, I've always kept my mouth shut."

After a wonderful conversation, the two of them entered their own relaxation time. He Chen took his glasses from the bedside table and put them on, opened the physiology books he brought and began to read them.

Shen Lan's bright voice could be heard from time to time, either happy, excited, or angry, each tone was like a different color, adding a bit of pleasant liveliness to the quiet environment.

After an unknown amount of time, the voices around him gradually calmed down, replaced by subtle but peaceful breathing.

He Chen covered Shen Lan with the quilt, then got out of bed and turned off the room light, leaving only a faint light beside the bedside table.

Just when he was going to sleep after finishing this part, he suddenly felt a slight coolness in his waist and abdomen, and even rubbed against him unconsciously after touching him.

He Chen:!

He turned his head to look at Shen Lan, only to find that the person who was supposed to be sleeping on the other side of the bed had run to the middle of the bed at some point, his arms had already crossed the "Chu River Han boundary", and he quietly touched He Chen'sin the area.

Seeing him like this, He Chen recalled what Shen Lan said before going to bed, then put down the book in his hand, took the phone in his hand and turned on the night shooting mode.

From the arms to the shoulders, then to the legs, and finally to the hairy head, He Chen took pictures of the whole process of how Shen Lan crossed the Chuhe-Han border little by little.

Shen Lan in his sleep looked very cute, especially when he was leaning against his side, that sense of trust and dependence quietly satisfied He Chen's vague possessive desire in his heart, making his thoughts of "paying back" even less.In this satisfaction, inadvertently disappeared.

never mind.

The little hedgehog loves to blow his hair, so it's better to be good.

He Chen silently saved the short video he just shot, turned off the bedside lamp, lay down, and fell asleep after touching Shen Lan's palm with his right hand.

Early the next morning, Shen Lan's cell phone rang non-stop, and cordial greetings from all relatives and friends came one after another. Even Shen Jiamiao, who was still participating in school activities, sneaked into his cell phone and sent him birthday wishes.

Shen Lan stood in front of the sink, holding a toothbrush in his mouth, flipping through one by one, but until the end of the slide, he didn't see the two messages he was most looking forward to.

Since the last time they broke up on the phone, Shen Lan and his father hadn't been in touch again, and the chat dialog box between the two of them was still half a month ago. As for his mother...he didn't know when he would be able tocontact with.

A faint sense of loss flashed through Shen Lan's heart, he quickly washed and changed his clothes, and then went to the hall downstairs to meet other people.

As the protagonist celebrating today's birthday, Shen Lan almost shopped all the places he wanted to eat and play, and everyone else accompanied him to go crazy and make trouble together. It was not until after 8 o'clock in the evening that he finally arrived at the KTV room that he had reserved before.

"Brother Shen, happy birthday!"

Song Mian swished out the birthday gift he had prepared from behind, which was a pair of limited-edition AJs.

"I bought this with the pocket money I saved for a long time. I don't even want to give it up, so I dedicate it to Brother Shen today!"

"Great," Shen Lan opened the shoes and took a closer look, her eyes were sparkling, "Don't worry, your birthday present today is that game console."

"Brother Shen is rich!"

Song Mian cheered on one side, and Wan Ke on the other side was not to be outdone, and quickly took out his own gift.

"Brother Shen, I made this myself, a wooden Luban lock. Although this thing is not worth much, it is better than KitKat. Don't you like to play with Lego? You can try this too."

"That's right, Wan Ke, you have some skills, you can do this, you have a bright future!"

Shen Lan praised him all the time, but it made Wan Ke who was used to being beaten a little uncomfortable, and felt embarrassed all over.

Lin Lu sent a box of puzzles, and Wang Qingya gave a box of homemade chocolates, which were made into many novel shapes with molds.

Although the people present could more or less feel what Wang Qingya meant for Shen Lan, the person involved didn't show anything, and they couldn't say much, so they could only go through this part with a laugh.

In the end, only He Chen hadn't brought out the gift.

All eyes fell on He Chen, and he took out a milky white box from his backpack, unpacked it in front of everyone, took out another item inside, and handed it to Shen Lan.

"Skateboard accessories!"

Seeing this, Shen Lan's eyes widened instantly, and the excitement in his eyes couldn't be concealed: "Where did you find it? I haven't found the right accessories to match after searching for so long. I thought that skateboard could onlyIt’s useless, I didn’t expect that there would be a day when we can regroup!”

"As long as you like it."

Shen Lan's excited expression brought a smile to He Chen's face. Not long after, Qiao Shisheng and her friends came one after another, and the box was instantly bustling.

The singing was mixed with howling ghosts and wolves. Some people just changed to another one if they couldn't listen to it anymore. Those who didn't sing were all chatting. Whether they knew each other before or didn't know each other, they quickly became familiar with each other in this cheerful atmosphere.

The sweet aroma of the wine mixed with the smell of fruit drifted into Shen Lan's nose inadvertently. He looked at the colorless and transparent lychee wine on the table, and was just about to reach out to take it for a taste, when he was caught by He Chen next to him.He reached out and blocked it.

"Drink less, it's not good for your health."

"He Chen, do you feel that you care about me like my father?" Shen Lan broke free from He Chen's restraint, "Could it be that you want to be my father?"

He Chen raised his eyebrows slightly: "It's not impossible."

"Fuck you!" Shen Lan laughed and poked He Chen a few times, "Everyone in this world who can take care of me..."

In the middle of speaking, Shen Lan suddenly stopped. He turned his head to look at He Chen, and for some reason suddenly smiled and said: "You said that you watch people so closely all day long, which little girl would dare to follow you?"You don't even have any private space when you're together."

"Well, so don't talk about it."

"Come on, it sounds nice now, when you really meet someone you like, she will be your only exception."

In the flickering lights, He Chen gently shook the cup in his hand, looked at Shen Lan's quiet face with half-closed eyes, and drank all the drink in the cup with a lift of his hand.

Perhaps, this person has already appeared.

"Brother Chen, let's play a game of folding fingers, are you coming?"

When the two of them fell into unreasonable silence, Wan Ke suddenly jumped out from nowhere and sat down beside Shen Lan.

"Zhao Wenjia, Song Mian and the others are already waiting. Sister Shengsheng and her two girlfriends are also together. Including you and He Chen, there are exactly ten people."

Shen Lan looked at He Chen: "Playing?"

"OK."

With the joining of Shen Lan and He Chen, the ten-player finger-folding game officially begins.

They formed a circle around the round table and rotated the bottle on the table to determine who would start the game first. It didn't take long for the bottle to point in Lin Lu's direction.

"First in the game, let me talk about it first." Lin Lu looked at a group of people and thought for a while before saying, "I'm wearing a small skirt, so fold your fingers if you haven't!"

This sentence clearly pointed to the boys present, but after several seconds, no one snapped off their fingers.

The girls present looked at the boy in shock, and even Lin Lu, who has always been cheerful and generous, was a little uncomfortable when he said: "You guys, you all wear small skirts? Even Brother Shen and He Shen are no exception.?!"

"It's all a dark history of childhood," Song Mian said with red ears, "Is there any mother who didn't have a girlish heart when she was young?"

As soon as these words came out, the other boys present all nodded in unison, which shows that they all experienced the same childhood.

"It's me, it's me!" A girl with braids took the bottle, looked at several high school students and suddenly smiled, "I have taken the college entrance examination."

"I know how to answer this question!" Wan Ke quickly answered while snapping his fingers down, "I have never taken the college entrance examination."

After two pulls, one back and one back, it was a draw. Now everyone's fingers were broken, and the wine bottle was transferred to Qiao Shisheng's hands.

Sitting on the sofa, she inadvertently glanced at the short-haired, capable girl across from her, paused for a few seconds before saying: "I have kissed other people who are not relatives."

These words were like sparks falling into dry wood, everyone present became excited instantly, only the girl with short hair avoided her sight and took a sip of fruit wine silently.

"Breaking news, Sister Shengsheng blew herself up in love!"

"Shengsheng, you actually have someone you like and don't tell me! I want to know all his information as soon as possible!"

"Okay, okay, I've finished," Qiao Shisheng shyly signaled everyone to be quiet, "Now it's time for you to fold your fingers."

Among the people present, they more or less knew each other's situation, so it was not surprising that the person who didn't fold their fingers in the end, but this expectation did not include Shen Lan.

"I'll go, Brother Shen, have you kissed someone else?!"

Suddenly learning of this shocking secret, Song Mian was so excited that he almost jumped up: "Our single Shen University bully who has been single for thousands of years will have a day when the iron tree will bloom!"

"Which girl is in which class? Are we going to have a sister-in-law soon?"

"Don't talk nonsense, it's nothing," Shen Lan retorted with a flushed face, and at the same time, a pair of eyes ruthlessly gouged out of He Chen's body, "It was just an accident!"

"Oh, surprise~"

Song Mian smiled meaningfully, his tone turned eighteen turns, obviously he didn't believe this statement.

"Oh shit!" Shen Lan slapped Song Mian across the air, "Hurry up, next one!"

In order to calm herself down as soon as possible, Shen Lan picked up the cup in front of her and drank it in one gulp. The sweet taste of lychees gradually spread in her mouth, and the hidden aroma of wine also quietly blended into it.

The author has something to say:

Come, come, the drunken scene is here, rub your hands together excitedly~
